1. Fully insert the lead(s), extension(s), splitter(s), and/or connector(s) into the IPG port(s),

being careful not to stress or bend the proximal end of the lead. When the lead is properly

inserted, the lead will stop and the retention ring will be located under the set screw.

2. Fully insert a port plug into unused IPG ports.

Note: If you experience difﬁ culty when inserting the lead, lead extension, splitter, connector, or

port plug, use the hex wrench to loosen (counterclockwise) the set screw and/or gently

rotate the lead to help advance the proximal end.

Note: To conﬁ rm good connections, check impedances before tightening the set screw. The

IPG must be in contact with the subcutaneous pocket in order to receive accurate

impedance measurements.

3. Pass the hex wrench through the hole in the septum located on the front or back of the IPG

header and tighten each set screw until the hex wrench “clicks,” indicating lock.

CAUTION: Ensure that the lead is fully inserted before tightening the set screw to prevent

lead damage

Note: If a port plug is used, it is still necessary to tighten the set screw on the port plug as

described above.

Note: The hex wrench is torque-limited and cannot be over-tightened.

4. Place the IPG in the subcutaneous pocket with logo marking facing up towards the skin.

5. Coil excess lead, extension, splitter, or connector under the IPG.
